number of years. your reaction to talk of a surplus right now? >> rhee is a liar and she needs to be fired immediately. she must go now. and i am requesting from all of my colleagues to say no to -- to say no to the washington teacher's union tentative agreement. george parker has sold us out. >> reporter: the agreement that she's talking about, two years it took to reach the agreement between the washington school system. and rhee is saying the surplus will go toward pay raises for the teachers and that has all of the teachers fired very upset. and today mayor fenty is not saying that an apology is in order, he said they relied on information from the chief financial officer and they were required to make the cuts because of a $20 million budget cut that the council implemented. let's hear from the mayor. mayor. >> earlier in the budget year

he was projecting a shortfall and after the council cut $20 million from the budget, then the chancellor was forced to make some reductions in personnel. and then later on at the end of the budget year, there was a projection that revenue had rebounded and because of that, there is going to be more resources to spend. >> they intentionally withheld the surplus? >> it was seen that seems to be the case. i hope it is not. the easiest way to fix that is to say because we had bad information we'll bring those teachers back. >> reporter: that was harry thomas and he said he will try to have a legislative way to have the teachers reinstated. and we've tried to talk to michelle rhee today and her offices say she won't talk. but she did talk to the washington post online.

we have breaking news. we'll go right to prince george's county where the police department is addressing issues involving with the alleged beating caught on tape of a university of maryland student. >> being very deliberate as we move forward. we understand there is a lot of community concern about this case and we are being as open as possible. but understand we've also received a threatening and hostile phone call from across the country so we have to be very deliberate as we move forward. but we will also be very open with the public as we move forward with this process. i'll take questions now if anybody has them. >> you say two have been suspended. you say two officers shown using batons in the tape. >> we suspended to officers as a result of this incident. and we have more officers that will be suspended. we believe that we've identified all of the officers who were in the -- seen in the tape using force. >> did they come in voluntarily? did they present themselves to you. >> we have identified some of

the officers through investigation and i believe others have come through voluntarily. it's been a mixture of both. >> and just so we're clear, you suspended the rider and you've now suspended a supervising sergeant, is that the two you are talking about. >> we have not identified exactly who we suspended other than we identified that we suspended the writer of the statement of charges. at this time i can't identify the others until they've all been suspended and then we'll identify all by name. >> how many people are we talking about? >> we've identified everybody in the tape and we've currently suspended two. >> is that three or four? >> it should been i don't know exactly how many. it will probably be -- i would imagine at least four. >> could suspensions also extend to officers who failed

to report use of force? >> that's a possibility. but certainly whether those officers are suspended or not, their actions will be part of this investigation. whenever we conduct an internal investigation, we don't always suspend the officers. it just depends on the severity of the charge we're looking at. >> [ inaudible ] been able to question every officer out there that night. >> internal affairs has questioned many officers. we had probably over 100 officers out there and they've questioned probably about half of that at least. >> there is a lot additional video shown right after the incident and now beginning to be shown again. some of the people in the videos have been identified, some not. none have filed formal charges. have you seen any of this additional video and is it important to additional complaints to get to the bottom of everything that happened? >> well it's very important to

get to the bottom of anything else that happened. we have looked at other video. some video sent to us that we appreciate from the news media and from the public. we have forwarded that video to our internal affairs division and they are currently reviewing that as well. >> andy, you said you're going to release names but you also said that you have been receiving hostile phone calls. aren't you concerned for officer safety? >> well we are concerned for officer safety. no question. so that's why we're moving forward deliberately through this process of releasing information to the public. it's a balance. there is a public interest in this and there is also a public right to know information about what is happening with their police department. we saw a videotape that is disturbing. and so there is a right for the public to know and we must balance that right with due process rights of the officers involved in this and also with safety. >> you can talk about -- i'm sorry, andy. >> and can you help explain to our viewers why nobody has been arrested. they say to officers, if i had

gone out with a baton and beat up a kid like this, i would have been arrested. >> well we have three different types of investigations going on. we have an internal investigation to determine whether our policies were violated. we have a criminal investigation, and we have a possible civil rights investigation. so those three investigations are going forward simultaneously. we have to be very deliberate so as not to jeopardize any investigation. so to move forward too quickly with an arrest could jeopardize a future prosecution. >> but you say this is what a normal citizen would get, the same kind of attention? >> it depends on the situation. many times when we arrest citizens we do months of investigations and not only just investigation but we meet with state's attorneys and we immediate sometimes with federal prosecutors and so this is absolutely normal in many times of investigations.

but i can see where people would be curious about that. >> back to the phone calls, you can talk about -- i know i talked to your gives that have been pesky, but real threatening phone calls that are sparking investigation now? what are you hearing? >> we're not currently looking at investigating any threatening phone calls. it hasn't gotten that bad. and really our focus is not on threatening phone calls. but the phone calls do raise a security concern and a safety concern. so we're not investigating at this point threatening phone calls but there is a safety concern. >> with everything that happened that night on the table now and open -- >> that's captain andy ellis from prince george's county police talking about additional suspensions expected in the case of the beating there that was caught on tape. again two officers already suspended in the melee that followed the maryland win over
